“Jenna stayed in our home for 2 weeks with our girl and she was amazing! She was easy to be in contact with and she provided daily updates and pictures for us. She was very respectful of our home and left it better than we left it. This was our first time using Rover so we were a bit hesitant, but she made us so comfortable from the beginning! Reagan loved her daily walks and cuddles, and I think she is more sad that we’re back now haha. She left a sweet note and some photos for us as well. We will definitely be using Jenna again in the future!”
“We have consistently worked with Vivian for overnight stays and she is the best! Constantly walks and plays with our little girl and gives picture updates regularly! She goes above and beyond what we ask her and she is the best communicator and super kind!”
“Abigail was fantastic! Scoobie fell in love with her! She was attentive to his needs and gave him tons of loving and affection. She stayed in our home and was very respectful in keeping everything picked up and clean, while still making herself comfortable with Scoobie. We were very comfortable and relaxed knowing that Scoobie was in good hands as she was great about communicating with us and sending pictures. We definitely are using her again!!!”
“I really appreciated Dayna’s attention to Badger’s mobility restrictions which I was super worried about. I felt very reassured by her comments. Dayna provided lots of updates and photos throughout the pet sit. She was also great about requests like turning his music on when she left, plenty of water, etc. Badger seemed to really like her, thank you!”
About: I've taken care of dogs, big and small since I was a teen. I used to pet sit for my neighbors when they would leave town. Im currently taking a course part time and have an open and flexible schedule.

She doesn't mind sharing her space with other cats or dogs

About: I recently returned to the U.S. after 14 years overseas and can’t wait to meet some new four-legged friends! Over the past four years, I’ve had the joy of walking and caring for 25 different dogs, and I’ve loved getting to know each of their unique personalities. Although I don’t have a dog of my own right now, that’s largely because living overseas meant frequent moves and lots of travel. Instead, I’ve been lucky enough to have 25 dogs to love! 🐾 Every dog I care for is treated as if they were my own - with plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and care. I’m reliable, responsible, and dedicated to my clients, while also being flexible with my schedule. Whether your pup needs a good walk, some extra cuddles, or a little company while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to spoil them! As I settle into my new life in Huntington Beach, finding some new furry friends is an important part of my daily and weekly routine. I also love exploring new neighborhoods, parks, and walking trails, so caring for dogs is a wonderful way to discover the area while giving them exercise, companionship, and attention. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I follow their routines and instructions closely so their pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and plenty of affection, depending on each pet’s needs. I also make sure to keep clients updated and leave their home clean and secure. Because we currently rent, I’m not always able to accommodate pets in my own home. However, depending on the dog’s size, breed, temperament, and needs, it may be possible to arrange care in my home. I’m happy to discuss the details and determine whether it would be a good fit.
About: Hi, I'm Tina - an HB beach girl on 12th St with a heart that lives for dogs. Your baby will be cherished like my own, with endless love, cuddles, and attention all day long. We will enjoy lots of happy walks, beach breezes, and playtime. You will get pictures and updates all day so you feel close even when you're away. I'm gentle and patient with senior pups, playful with the young ones, comfortable with medications, and I have lots of love for anxious dogs who just need extra comfort. And yes - I love kitties too! While dogs are my specialty, I am happy to care for cats with the same devotion, cuddles, clean litter, and sweet companionship. Your pet will never go without. A happy pet is a happy owner, and I will do anything to keep that tail wagging - or purring. My schedule is very flexible and I am home all day to give your pet my full love and attention. I would love to spend my days with your babies. They will be cherished, cuddled, and never alone, with lots of love to give. Your pet's safety and happiness is my everything. I have a secure fenced yard for safe play and sunbathing, and your pup will have potty breaks at least four times a day and more whenever needed. We enjoy fun runs at different fields, long evening walks with beach breezes, and a calm, clean, loving home where they will feel completely safe and adored.
About: I have always grown up around dogs and now I have 2 beautiful golden retrievers. I have nursed their wounds, given them medication, made their food, groomed them, and some hours of research to take care of them. I have also watched or helped take cared of friends and families dogs. My past job as a cna has helped me to not be afraid of a messy situation. I am also great with high energy dogs. I am currently a student and help my partner with his private chef business so I have lots of free time in between. I help him with 1-2 events a week so I have a lot of free time to check up or walk your dogs. I am available every morning and most nights. I go to school online and all of my classes are currently short and spread out so I have lots of free time for walks. I would care for my client’s pets like my own. We will have the best time together and I always make sure they are in a happy and safe environment. I am always prepared on walks with treats, extra leashes, and plenty of bags.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Huntington Beach
We feel so lucky to have had Dayna watch our doggies!! Our dogs usually get very stressed when we’re away for a few days, but this time was completely different. They were so excited to see Dayna, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Dayna was attentive, caring, and followed their regular routine so they felt comfortable and at home. She also gave our senior dog the extra care and attention he needed. Dayna kept in great communication with us throughout our time away, which was so reassuring and allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip. When we came home, our dogs were happy, relaxed pooches—and that says everything! We finally feel comfortable going away knowing our doggies are happy, well cared for, and not stressed while we’re gone. We truly appreciate Dayna and feel so grateful to have found someone we can trust.
Jenna did an outstanding job watching our dog, Paloma, overnight in our home! She communicated well & provided photo & updates regularly. She followed all of our directions perfectly. She really cared for Paloma with tenderness, kindness & compassion. We would absolutely recommend Jenna & look forward to having her watch Paloma again!
Samantha did a wonderful job looking after our kitties and fish. She was asked great questions, was careful and thorough with the feeding and cleaning, and communicated with us throughout her stay at our home. Our kitties were happy and relaxed when we came come, and Samantha left our home tidy and clean. Thank you for doing such a nice job, Samantha!
We had an amazing experience! She communicated with us throughout the entire stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She took wonderful care of our dog, making sure he got all of his medications three times a day, and it was clear he was well loved and cared for. She also took exceptional care of our home. Everything was spotless, organized, and exactly as we left it. She even went above and beyond by washing and drying the towels and sheets before we got home, which was such a thoughtful surprise. I would absolutely book her again for dog and house sitting in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and caring!
Mayumi and Zackary were as delightful as they were attentive to caring for our thirteen year old blind & deaf dog, Honey - I immediately felt the professionalism and attention to detail during the meet and greet. Communication was seamless and extra sweet photos of Honey much appreciated!! Will definitely book again! Cheers!
Alexa was amazing! First time using this service and impressed is an understatement! Alexa was very professional, communicative and showed our dogs lots of love and attention. She checked in several times throughout the day by sending pictures, videos, and updates. Would highly recommend Alexa and will definitely be rebooking with her.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Huntington Beach walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Huntington Beach maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Huntington Beach choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
